WATER-MOTOR.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 25, 1915.

Application filed October 30, 1913. Serial No. 798,313.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, Ton MALTBY, a citizen of the United States, residing at McGill, in thecounty of White Pine, State of Nevada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Water-Motors; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to improvements in water motors, andparticularly to rotary water motors.

One object of the invention is to provide a simple device of this character which includes novel means for supporting the shaft of the rotor and securing the parts of the casing thereof together.

Other objects and advantages will be aparent from the following description, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings. 7

- In the drawings: Figure 1 is a side elevation of a. water motor made in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a' vertical transverse sectional view on the line 22 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a similar section on the line 33 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a top plan view.

Referring particularly to the accompanying drawings, there is provided a casing including a lower section 10 and an upper section 11, the lower section being provided with a tangentially arranged discharging spout 12, and the upper section being provided with a tangentially arranged ejector nozzle 13. Secured to each side of the lower section 10, and extending longitudinally at a suitable distance below the upper edges of the said sections are the bars 14. The ends of these bars extend around the ends of the sections as clearly shown, and between the ends, the bars are provided with vertical openings 15. At corresponding points are secured similar bars 16, these bars being also bent around the ends of the section in a manner similar to the bars 14. The upper section carries at its lower edge a flange 17 which is arranged to fit within the upper portion of the lower section.

Both the upper and lower sections have formed centrally in their straight edges, the oppositely arranged and alining curved notches 18, and secured to the bars 14 opposite the notches of the lower sections are journal bearings 19. Mounted in these bearings and extending transversely of the easing within the notches thereof is a shaft 20, this shaft carrying a bucketed wheel 21 arranged within the casing. The notches of the upper section receive the shaft rotatably therein as further shown. The bars 16 are also provided with openings 16, and passed through these openings and through the openings of the bars 14 are suitable clamping bolts 22 for holding the sections of the casing firmly clamped together. On one end of the shaft 20 is a pulley 23 from which power can be taken. The casing is provided with a supporting leg 24 secured to the side of the casing opposite to the spout 12. Braces 25 between the casing and spout also form feet 26 to support that side of the casing.

From the foregoing, it will readily-be seen that I have provided a simple device of this character, and one in which the shaft is not directly supported on the casing, but is supported directly on the bars described. These bars also serve to receive the bolts which clamp the two sections together.

What is claimed is:

A water motor comprising a two-part cylindrical casing, longitudinal bars arranged in parallel relation and secured respectively to the sections of the casing at suitable distance from their abutting edges, the lower edges of the upper section being offset inwardly to receive the upper edges of the lower section, journal bearings carried by the bars of the lower section, the ends of the bars engaging around the ends of the section, and the clamping bolts engaged through the upper and lower bars to secure the sections together.

In testimony whereof, I aflix my signature, in the presence of two witnesses.

TOD MALTBY.
